Mercury and Argus in a Landscape

Dirck van der Lisse

Cleveland Museum of Art

Round painting of a rocky landscape. In the foreground, a man sits on a rocky outcropping, facing left; another man stands beside him, wearing a winged helmet, with one arm raised to his face. To their right, a white cow stands on the rocky outcropping; behind it, a goat stands on a lower level. In the background, a body of water stretches across the center of the painting, with hills and mountains on the horizon. On the left side, ruins of a building with arches and a tower are visible. The sky above is blue with white clouds.
